    A la vista del catálogo de nuestro Instituto Nacional de Estadística, quién dejará de sorprenderse al descubrir entre las colecciones auspiciadas por el INED francés una dedicada a los Clásicos de la economía y la población, con cuidadísimas ediciones de Condorcet, Süssmilch, Quesnay, Graunt...
